I just had 3 days straight NO HEARTBURN!!
That's right no heartburn, no trouble swallowing, no icky throat, no hoarse voice.
Don't even need to drink my tsp of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water - my go-to remedy.
I just can't believe it, everything I read (googled the subject ad nauseum) said that this is a progressive problem and will only get worse.
I am just ecstatic I had 2 days NOT EVEN THINKING about it because the daily reminder just wasn't there.
There just aren't enough exclamation marks or emoji's for the happiness I feel.
Thanking my lucky stars and Dr McDougall and this site. Praying that this is not just a fluke actually
Am seeing my doctor tomorrow, I expected to be scheduling an endoscopy but I think I may be telling her about the starch solution instead
Not lost any more weight because I have been eating as much as I like but I DON'T PUT ANY WEIGHT ON even when I feel like I have actually stuffed myself. I feel like I discovered an amazing secret after all my years of weighing myself and knowing that if I indulged in anything sweet I'd see the pounds pile on (which was actually something full of fat, and was the real reason I now realise).
So glad I stuck with it for the last 12 weeks, as I was so disheartened not to see a result in the first 2 months.
I think that raising the bed 4" as Dr McDougall suggests definitely helped. Hubby was not too impressed at the suggestion but I worked on him
Already gave a work colleague a 'talking to'. She said she was finding the low carb diet hard - I said darling have I the solution for you - the STARCH solution LOL.
Now 12 weeks on starch solution lost 10 pounds, BMI 23.5. Reckon I will lose more - just by eating my beloved beans and potatoes
